    So how are people getting new accounts, then? If no invite codes are going out, how do they have new members sign up?

    Also, I've been a member for over year, and I don't see ANY updates on things like this. When I go to the site, I still see the screen that invites me to invite friends.

    Like I said, they're only handing out a hundred a day now to people in the queue. So that's how new members will join. From what I read it's part because of the growing queue and part because of their server and the high traffic. There are a lot of 502 errors lately and what they'd planned on doing (coding-wise) didn't have the effect they'd been hoping for so now they're limiting the invitations while they continue their coding, hoping to alleviate some on the pressure. I believe they said they were trying to fix it before the past weekend due to heavy traffic but the rest of their coding would take two weeks or more.

    As for the updates, I get them via twitter. They post links there to updates that don't go to the archive itself to alleviate the traffic. I usually check it when I encounter an 502 error while trying to update, to make sure it's just traffic (and I should keep trying) or a scheduled update or something.


    ETA:
    They also mentioned getting a new (better) server, thanks to all the donations that were made last month. But they wanted to get the coding done first, IIRC.

    Down the Rabbit Hole (M-rated):
    A malfunctioning quantum mirror causes an explosion and catches Major Samantha Carter unaware. When she comes to she discovers she has not only ended up on the wrong side of the mirror, but also the law! Forced to live as her counterpart, she tries to find a way home. Can she trust her CO's alternate or does he have a plan of his own?
    -> Chapter 3 is up!
